All official matches between the Japan Chess Academy and the Kansai Chess Academy ended on December 27, and in the end, Ueno Aisami Ryugi won 54 wins and 25 losses in this year's official tournament, becoming the first chess player in history to win the most. Junior high school chess player Nakae-ei-nidan also finished third with a record of 43 wins and 18 losses. These achievements also reflect the fact that female Players of Japanese Go are also beginning to emerge.
In the official competition of Japanese Go, there are women's tournaments, young chess player limited tournaments and other gender and age limited matches, for which female chess players and young chess players can have more matches, but Ueno Aisami won the championship in the mixed young chess player limited tournament Wakami Battle, and the newcomer Wang Zhan won the second place. In addition to the women's limited tournament, which also achieved a good result of 35 wins and 15 losses, this year's performance of Ueno Ai Misami has exceeded the scope of female chess players.
Previously, in the seven main japanese Go tournaments such as the Celebrity War, male players dominated the first place. Female chess players have not been challenged before, but this year, in all competitions, female chess players have entered the forefront.
Xie Yimin entered the final in the final preliminaries of the Celebrity Battle, becoming the first female chess player to enter the round robin circle with only 1 win. Fujisawa's roku Rin honjo reached the quarter-finals of the 10-dan tournament, becoming the best result for a female chess player in the title tournament.
The top five Players in this year's Japanese players in terms of winning games are as follows.
1. Aika Ueno Beauty Ryugi 54 wins 25 losses
2. Xu Jiayuan 10 dan 45 wins and 21 losses
3. Zhongyi 2nd Dan 43 wins and 18 losses
